Ulte Tawe Ke Parathe are Lucknowi parathas made on an inverted griddle . These parathas are soft and melt in the mouth kinds and pair very well with any kebabs or curry .
Ulta is inverted and Tawa is griddle. The griddle resembles a kadai minus the handle .
I had made the Ulte Tawe ki Roti along with Soya ke Kebab for the Protein Rich Mega Marathon and these rotis were were a total hit with the Kebabs .
Avadhi Cuisine has a number of flatbreads and choosing a flatbread for the theme Flatbreads and More wasn’t a difficult task . In fact I realised that my Ulte Tawe ki Roti was yet to be featured here and decided on it . Muslims cooked rotis and parathas including Rumali Roti over inverted griddles; it was their style of cooking. These inverted griddles give a slight curve to the rotis . While visiting Lucknow one can see these dome shaped griddles all over the city , every nook and corner rotis are made on these tawas. Other than the rotis one can spot lot of Kebabs and massive pots of Biryanis and piles of Sheermals.
While on my trip , I enjoyed eating the typical Lucknowi chats too , UttarPradesh definitely has a lot to offer in terms of food . It is a hub for street food and at the same time Royal Nawabi Cuisine . A visit to this city surely would not be complete without buying some excellent hand crafted chicken kari outfit .
